RCC ANTWERP is back up to speed in the Atlantic.
At 11:37 Z her position was N46.5 W21.8 and she was making 19 kts
She has just 1240nm left to go and will arrive in Zeebrugge on Tuesday.
Southampton on 13 Nov is now confirmed.
TRITON ACE She has finally started her canal transit. See yesterday's post on the canal and webcam links.
The interesting thing is her ETA for Zeebrugge of 18 Nov.
I’m not sure that it is achievable and so it may be revised once she in in the Caribbean.
In the meantime I will keep my estimates of Zeebrugge on 20 Nov and Southampton on 22 Nov
GRAND AURORA is making steady progress towards the Panama Canal.
At midday Z she was at N18.5 W104.4 and maintaining 17.5kts.
She is on schedule to arrive at the Panama Canal on 12 Nov and the weather conditions continue to look good.
I have her pencilled in for Zeebrugge on 24 Nov and Southampton on 26/27 Nov.
The timing of her canal transit will decide whether they are accurate or not.

TOSCANA I was hoping we might catch another fleeting position report as she passed south of India but we didn’t.
Her position is estimated.
The weather in her area continues to look fine and I’m not anticipating any significant weather for her crossing of the Arabian Sea.
She will arrive in Zeebrugge on 27 Nov
TANNHAUSER is now in the South China Sea and making 14kts.
At midday she was at N20.2 E118.1
Atsani has now decayed to a tropical depression and so poses much less of a direct threat, nevertheless the seas in the area will remain disturbed for a few days to come.
She will arrive at Suez on 25 Nov and Zeebrugge of 6 Dec.
GLOVIS SUMMIT is now alongside Pier 80. In an important development her departure which was originally planned for early Monday morning has now been rescheduled to around 6pm local on Monday evening. This is still not long enough to load this ship completely.
GLOVIS CRYSTAL will arrive alongside Pier 80 in the early hours of Tuesday morning. This is clearly a major change in the schedule but I still think she will be heading to Europe. I’m a little surprised to see that she is still in Vancouver - she will need to get a wiggle on if she is to arrive on time on Tuesday.
RCC AMSTERDAM is currently alongside in San Diego and is due to depart imminently to Benicia. On the original plan she would now be heading to Pier 80 to load and so it will be interesting to see whether she is just delayed or has been scrubbed completely.
